Chelsea thrash Maribor as Didier Drogba scores first goal since 2012 final

Didier Drogba scored his first Chelsea goal since his decisive strike in the 2012 Champions League final as the Premier League leaders thrashed Maribor 6-0 at Stamford Bridge to strengthen their position at the top of Group G.
Drogba, whose final kick of his first spell was the last penalty in the shootout defeat of Bayern Munich which saw Chelsea win the European Cup, replaced Loic Remy after 16 minutes and converted a spot-kick seven minutes later.
The Ivory Coast striker's 158th Chelsea goal - he netted 157 goals in 341 appearances in his eight-year first spell - made it 2-0 after Remy's opening strike and captain John Terry swiftly added a third after sprinting the length of the field.
The watching England manager Roy Hodgson would have been impressed, even though Terry's controversial international career is over, as he watched a number of Slovenia players ahead of next month's Euro 2016 qualifier.
